What should I do?

pursue it all the way!~ doctor -lawyer -all accident reports to every one ,including your boss first! if he fires you, you can sue him and WIN! there is not a lawyer in the world that won`t take this case, both against your boss if he fires you, and the person resposible for hitting you to start with!! be sure and get (keep) copies of the police report too! this injury may bother you more when you get older.---ask me how I know----bob:coffee2:

Only have USPS experience....this aint necessarily the truth. If you are talking about filing an EEO claim after getting fired there is a problem. If the company treats everyone the same, for example anyone that gets hurt or in an accident gets fired you have no basis for a discrimination claim. Even if they do violate the law. Discrimination is about 1 person getting treated differently. I tried to go after the USPS for violating the FMLA laws...was told by 2 different attorneys I spoke with that an employer can violate every labor law there is....if all employees are treated the same there is no discrimination. Labor laws can get pretty twisted up.

Just search national reassessment program and you will see how bad things have gotten for the injured at the USPS. Sure there are tons of lawsuits, but what is someone supposed to do while there case is getting dragged out in court? Still have to pay the mortgage and eat.
MY wife left the PO before all this crap started. Last I asked a friend that still works at that dump I was told that there is still no limited or light duty folks there. Which translates into you got hurt, either on or off the job, and you aint there anymore.

I would live in reality here, not some fantasy land that your employer cares about you and is going to do the right thing. And part of reality, at least as I see it, is if you report it you very well may get fired for it, either directly or indirectly. And sure, you may be able to file suit and get your job back, but do you have the means to stay afloat?

I may be way off base here....but keep in mind that my wife is no longer employed by the USPS because she reported an injury....
